The issue of minor offense in the context of drug possession is a central question in Italian criminal law. This concept plays a fundamental role in determining the legal consequences of a drug-related crime.
A minor offense refers to a mitigating circumstance provided by law, which recognizes a lesser severity of the committed crime. In particular, Article 73 of DPR 309/90 contemplates the possibility of applying reduced penalties if the act is of minor offense, taking into account the quality and quantity of the substance, the manner of the action, and the circumstances of the event.
Minor offense does not mean impunity, but a mitigation of criminal responsibility.
If recognized, a minor offense can lead to a significant reduction in the penalty. However, a detailed analysis of the case is essential to determine the possibility of applying such mitigation. Every detail can make a difference in court.
